port Not Sustained.
Justice Merrick yesterday considered the
hearing in the lunacy proceedings in rela-
tion to Mrs. Weltha A. Emmons, the par
ticular motion being the exceptions to the
auditors report refusing allowance for ex.
pert testimony and counsel fees. Messrs.
Leigh Robinson and w. V. II. Berry ap-
peared for Mrs. Emmons, and Mcssrs.
Linden Kent and A. G. Bradley for the hus'
band. Justice Merrick was OF the opinion
that the doctrine In divorce suits did not
apply, for this was an amlcable suit, aud
there was no reason for Furnishing the hus'
band when he had done nothing more than
his duty, and the extraordinary expenses
would not be put on him. Besides, in this
case, the wife was possessed of abundan,
means given by her husband when he was
happy and generous. The exception was
therefore overruled.

1t should Remain

No little surprise has been 0ccasIoned
by the proposed consolidation of the
Fourth and Eighth United States revenue
districts of this state, which would do
away with the Quincy district entirely.
Figures show that the collections of the
Quincy district average up as well almost
as any other district in the state, and
take the distilleries away from Peoria and
deprive Chicago of its oleomargarlne,
and it will rank first or second. With
the present prospect of having the Des
Moines distillery in Rock Island, there
should be some steps taken to prevent
the change if possible, as the district
has always more than paid expenses, and
if the distillery comes TO Rock Island, its
revenue will be equal to any in the state
The collections for last year were 1884, :
914 81, which is more than the entire
states of Kansas, Alabama, Arkansas.
California or Connecticut. The citizens
of Quincy are making a strong protest
against the abandoning of the district. and
there is some such feeling here which is
very likely to increase A change which
would annex Rock Island to any district
SO far away as Sprintield would certainly
be regretted.
